Update on my girl

As always, a sleeping picture of my beauty.

On this particular occasion, she was going back and forth between crying because she couldn't see the pictures on the camera and smiling for it, lol. Couldn't make up her mind.

"I do NOT want to take a picture with you mom!"

Loving herself some pizza!

I loved this when it happened but you can't see it well on the picture because of the flash. She was looking at herself in the "mirror" of the oven door and liked what she saw so much that she just needed to kiss it. So cute!

It has been a good month in the Herrmann household because it has been a fast one. Another month is gone and Mike will be home in only 2 more months approximately. Very exciting. And we celebrate our 6th anniversary on July 4th. This should be the last thing we have to celebrate without each other except my birthday but we're waiting to celebrate that when he gets home. What a great birthday present!

All's well with Bailey. Last time I wrote about her ear infection and how we had a follow up. When we went to that follow up they said her ears looked the same as before and even one that wasn't infected became infected. So they ordered her to have 3 antibiotic shots on 3 consecutive days. Oh, I cried! She cried! It was a big mess. But when we went last week she said they were looking better. She is still tugging at them but we have her 15 month well baby visit this morning so we'll see how it goes.

She just went to spend the weekend with Nana and Poppy this weekend and I got a break. It was so nice! I was able to clean the whole house and even clean out my closet. I'm deciding on either a yard sale or donating it all. Probably I'll just donate it. Who knows. What I know is that I enjoyed my time away from her but I missed her to pieces and was so happy to see her!

Next weekend is 4th of July and we'll be at Nana and Poppy's again. Good stuff to come!

Beach pics and fun

Mommy is working on doing this child's hair. It's getting easier! She just won't sit still, ever.

The saga continues between these two. They're growing more and more in love each day. Seriously, she kisses and hugs all over him and he reaches for her and loves on her too. It's so sweet to watch!

Cutie girl in her bathing suit and hat! She was ready for the beach.

I just think this is a cute little smirk.

She didn't mind the water too much but the sand was a deal-breaker for her. She did not want to be put down to walk in it or even touch it. It was very funny to see her touch the sand and then look at us like, "Get it off! Why is it still there!?!" I thought she'd get used to it and she did get used to the water more but the sand is one that we'll need to continue to work on.

She wanted Nana, Poppy, Mama, Poppy, Nana, Mama, Poppy, Nana, Nana. She just went back and forth the whole 4 days we were there. She wasn't happy in anyone's arms unless she was reaching for someone else.

The poor baby was overstimulated! She wasn't feeling very well while we were there anyway because she was getting over an ear infection and a mild cold.

Poor Bailey couldn't be seen past the palm trees! We had a great time at Margaritaville. She colored on a kids menu and even had her very first kids meal of grilled cheese and french fries. Of course she barely ate any because she was too busy eating everyone else's food. She did enjoy it again the next day for lunch though, haha.

She got her first pair of sunglasses this week and loves to look cool in them!

She had an ear infection that we go for a follow up on this Thursday. I'm hoping it's gone but she was tugging at her ear pretty hard tonight so we'll see. Then in two weeks she has her 15 month well baby visit because she's 15 months old now! Ahhh, where did the time go!?

Her newest things are picking her nose, saying "shhhh" if her beau is asleep or anyone is whispering, saying "ow!" even when she isn't hurt, growing more teeth (13 and counting!), and attempting to do the motions to The Wheels on the Bus song. She's such a handful these days. Especially because she just has so much attitude. She's hitting a lot more and I just keep telling her no and making her "say" sorry. When she continues, I put her in the pack n play for a minute of time out. Who knows if any of that is working but 99% of the time she's my sweet Bailey girl!
